You can have a blues about your girl's that's gone. The blues comes so many different ways until its kind of hard to explain. But, when's ever you get a sad feeling, you tell the whole round world you got nothin' but the blues.

    Les Blank shows Lightnin' Hopkins at his most comfortable
    Good film. Les Blank always present his subject as much as they should be. Lightnin' Hopkins was presented while doing what he does best, playing the blues and telling stories.

    This documentary presents a good perspective into the life of a bluesman as well as rural black America.
